Q: Cardinal relation composition: Determine P's direction from Y. Relations: Y is East of X; X is North of Z; P is South of Z. Question: In which direction of Y is P located? Select the correct option.

Map placement Let Z = (0,0).X North of Z ⇒ X = (0, +1).Y East of X ⇒ Y = (+1, +1).P South of Z ⇒ P = (0, −1). Direction from Y to P Vector = (−1, −2) ⇒ South-West, which is not among North/South/South-East.Hence: None of these.

Difficulty: Medium

North
South
South-East
None of these

Correct Answer: None of these

Explanation:

Map placement
Let Z = (0,0).X North of Z ⇒ X = (0, +1).Y East of X ⇒ Y = (+1, +1).P South of Z ⇒ P = (0, −1).

Direction from Y to P
Vector = (−1, −2) ⇒ South-West, which is not among North/South/South-East.Hence: None of these.
